613 Mitzvot Laws or Commandments of the Old Testament

So in my List of Lists, this is probably the ultimate big list of all. The information compiled here was put together using a few different sites such as the Mitzvot List by Tracey R Rich and J. Daniel Hays article on the laws, both of which spent an untold amount of time putting together information about the Old Testament laws. If you want to visit those sites they will provide a lot more detailed information. Below is just a running list of all 613 laws (mitzvot commandments), based primarily on a list compiled by Rambam in the Mishneh Torah.

For each mitzvah (law), he provided a citation to the biblical passage or passages from which it is derived, based primarily on Rambam. For commandments that can be observed today, he provided citations to the Chafetz Chayim’s Concise Book of Mitzvot (CCA refers to affirmative commandments; CCN refers to negative commandments; CCI refers to commandments that only apply in Israel). Commandments that cannot be observed today primarily relate to the Temple, its sacrifices and services (because the Temple does not exist) and criminal procedures (because the theocratic state of Israel does not exist).
